Gov. Jindal on alternative to ObamaCare

… it’s so important that Republicans in Congress don’t rush to try to become cheaper Democrats and pass ObamaCare-lite.

I proposed a plan a year ago with 16 points, a standard deduction, grants to the states for a form of Medicaid, interstate purchase of insurance, medical savings accounts, cracking down on frivolous lawsuits, that would help millions of Americans get access, would also lower costs by thousands of dollars to the average family.

So to answer your question, absolutely. They need to pass a plan today. And here is what is going to happen if they don’t. The president will be on TV. He will have a sympathetic example of a patient with chemo or a dialysis treatment, saying they’re going to lose their access if the Republicans don’t do something.
